TC Electronic Announces BG250 Combo Series

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Risskov, Denmark, 2 October 2013) - Following the
success of last year's BG250 bass combo, TC Electronic is excited
to announce a completely new line of combos that focus on
portability, playability and tone! The all-new BG250 combo line-up
consists of four different combos, which only differ in their
speaker configurations. All sport 250 watts of power, TonePrint
functionality, built-in tuner and intelligent EQ whilst retaining
the ultra-light, super-portable and ultra-powerful formula that
made the original BG250 such a hit.

The combos in this series consist of a version with a 1x12"
speaker, a 1x15" speaker and a 2x10" speaker configuration all with
a custom 1" piezo tweeter. Rounding out the series is a 2x8" that
is simply love at first tune-up. The 1x12" gives you the best of
both worlds: tight and powerful sound with a strong presence in the
mids. This gives a bassy and old school sound, or a modern and
crisp vibe. The 1x15" focuses a bit more on the low-end oomph
and raw power. The 2x10" version has a scooped sound, with a fast
response. This results in a tone that is focused, without ever
losing the low end. The sound of the 2x8" is best
characterized as fresh, inspiring and with nice clarity and
attitude, without ever losing the rumble.

Intelligent EQ

All combos in the BG series feature intelligent EQ, which means
that no matter how you cut or boost frequencies, things always
sound great and are tailormade for bass. Other features for these
combos are a Built-in 6 String Tuner, Rehearsal Input - Playback
through Speaker or Headphones, Balanced DI Out for seamless
recording or PA output , a headphone output and an optional
footswitch.

TonePrint

The BG250 combos sport dual Bass TonePrint, a unique
feature that lets you load signature effects into a TonePrint slot.
So load any of the Bass TonePrints and off you go! Switch
between them with the optional Switch-3 footswitch; change them on
the fly or mute - whatever you need to create your tone. The 2x8"
combo allows you to use the footswitch to switch Toneprints, while
the others in the series also allow switching of sounds from the
amp.

Besides the ever expanding roster of TonePrint artists including
Nathan East, Mark King, Duff McKagan and Richard Bona, there's also
many effects available to try for free, including Chorus,
Flanger, Vibrato, Octaver, SpectraComp and Bass Drive!

Morten Ehlers, TC Electronic's Business Manager for Bass adds:
"The success of the original BG250 combo basically set the course
for us, we needed to now do these with different speaker
configurations. So we worked pretty hard on incorporating all the
features our bass amps are known for: tone, feature set and power
with different speaker sizes to get any and all bassists the
perfect combo amp for practice, studio and stage - and I think we
rocked it!"
